guilty to tho charge tue Common.
wealth hath perforred against you
When Pat had complied with the
polite request thus malo 10y the
laws officer, the Attorney proceed, d
to read from a paper 10 bis hand p
very graphic description OF cei,ar
transaction in which Pat had beet
engage d q few days before.
"Wbat say you ? Arc yon guilt,
or not guilty T. asked The Attorney.
"Im not guilty of half thea,
things you've read to me sa'd Pat,
looking at the Judge; "but | dc

on tho mcnpest corn whisky ycl
Honor ever tasted
Bat Patrick, we never tasto it"
said the Judge, while smile lulkod
in ambush behind the grave, jnd cial
countenance.
"Sure, pow, don't ys though -
said Pat, with look Of wingled sur
prise and increduli,y-"dou't yc
though? Well, thin,yer ought to jist
once, to how to pity poor fellow
that does. Sure yor Homer grants
licenses, aud know 10 you krow the
mischief yer duiu' to honest mel
like moself, unless 80 take a drink
now and thin. just SEQ how it acts,
aud to know how it makes man
behave hisself.
"Who gave You the liQuor, Pat
rick y asked tho Court, on a voyage
OF discovery.
"Well, | donno jst phars bis
name,' said Pat, too honorable to
turn informer, while a CLEAN OF true,
native humor twinkled in his eye,
but ] know | seed u lic9nsc haugin'
behind the bar. Ye see, Judge, |
was workin' for the city on the
streets, iist close by, aud was
drouthy, aud it was 80 handy, went
in and took q drink that orient to
have hurt baby and in ten sec
onds l was crazy druDk--and !
dreamt that | was at Donnybrook
fair an that's all | reminder till
mkt mornin' when ! was boardiu' at
Sheriff Ryan's hotel"
But said the Court, "you are
charged With perpetrating an ag-
gravaied assault and battery on Mr..
s., the hotel keeper"
"Well, yer Honor said Pat, "ifI
did, only gin him back jlst phats
in his owk whisky, an if yer Honor
hadn't give n license, | wouldn't We
been dunk an' il hadn't been
drunk, | wouldn't have got into the
fight, and if hadn't We got into the
fight, wouldn't ve bin here this
mornin enyhow"
This was process uf reasoning
entirely new to tho Court. 1t was
II selfevident truth dressed in plain
clothes, and while tho law was with
the Court, Pat evidently had all the
logic aud he hero summed up the
mischief Of the license system in
few sentences We're it not for the
fact, that tho stuff Va so easily OBJ
trined q den, protected by law,
every hundred yards, making il inn
possible in the cities for laborer to
earn an honest days wages without

the hope of "rainy day"

Representative Glover of Union
coupty himself q banker, had the
manlness to admit that there should
be an inspect n OF State banks and
that the cries that the True bill il
inquisitoral and strike for Doodle
are unjust, and other sensible bauk-
ers would do well to follow his lead
iu recognizing the inevitable. To
apply insulting epithets to the ad-
vocates of needed legislation will
only increase the general conviction
that the bankers have no adequate
arguments against a reform of the
States loose bank inspection system
